The official home for the Pixel Streaming servers and frontend!

The frontend and web server elements for Unreal Pixel Streaming (previously located in Samples/PixelStreaming/WebServers) are now in this repository, for all to contribute to. They are referred to as the Pixel Streaming Infrastructure.

Goals

The goals of this repository are to:

  • Increase the release cadence for the Pixel Streaming servers (to mitigate browser breaking changes sooner).
  • Encourage easier contribution of these components by Unreal Engine licensees.
  • Facilitate a more standard web release mechanism.
  • Grant a permissive license to distribute and modify this code wherever you see fit (MIT licensed).

Contributing

If you would like to contribute to our repository, please reference our contribution guide. Thank you for your time and your efforts!

Contents

The Pixel Streaming Infrastructure contains reference implementations for all the components needed to run a pixel streaming application. They are structured as separate projects, which work together, but are designed to be modular and interoperable with other implementations which use WebRTC technology. These implementations include:

  • A signalling web server, called Cirrus, found in SignallingWebServer/.
  • An SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit), found in SFU/.
  • A common library for frontend applications, found in Common/.
  • Several frontend projects for the WebRTC player and input, found in Frontend/:
  • A signalling protocol test application that validates implementations of the signalling protocol, found in SS_Test/.

Releases

We release a number of different components under this repository, specifically:

  • Container images for the signalling server
  • NPM packages for the frontend
  • Source releases of this repo with the reference frontend built as a minified js bundle

Container images

The following container images are built from this repository:
